It is difficult for some people, ie me, to do all the training I would like to do because of DOMS which creeps up on the second or third day after a decent work out. I can manage it to some extent with cold showers and ice packs in the first 24 hours, but it is certainly no cure. Of course I could drop my weights by about 25%, which would reduce the soreness considerably, but it still pops up if I do something different.
Given that the whole point of weight training is to actually lift as heavy as I can, I would be grateful for any suggestions about changing either my gym routine or some kind of post work out therapy which would reduce the soreness.
I'm mid 30's, 200lb, training 10 years, swim, run, play football, bench 230. |

For me lifting and running is the only way to losen up and get my blood pumping to help alieviate the soreness. I see a chiro once a week as well to keep me going strong and minimize pain

For those who dont know, its basically a type of self massage one can do with a foam roller. it loosens up the muscle fascia and increase blood flow. it helps to release knots and spasms. anyone here ever try it?
